Flutter is a cross platform app framework and kotlin is a language to augment/interop with/replace Java. In general, my view on cross platform is that it is a race to a lowest common denominator of sorts. If I had to write an app and I had all the monies I would go native every time. If I didn't have all the monies I would use something cross platform. I struggle to understand why companies like Facebook stuff about with cross platform frameworks for apps when they have unlimited money and relatively simple apps to write.
